1980s live recording... ID?

I was sorting through a pile of old CD-RW discs on my PC and came across one formatted and finalised as a Compact Disc Digital Audio. I only tended to use CD-RW for data purposes, not normally for audio. The recording is clearly a live Shadows concert, almost certainly recorded by an audience member (in mono, probably meaning via a small cassette recorder). I remember absolutely nothing about where I got this audio from, though it is obvious that I either received it as a cassette and transferred it or otherwise (and this is less likely) downloaded it from an online source.

All the speech is in English; there are no attempts at French or any other European language. That and the fact that a particular tune was included (see below) makes me suspect that the location was somewhere in the Antipodes.

The audio lasts for exactly one hour and four minutes and the set-list is:

1. Spoken Intro
2. Riders In The Sky
3. The Frightened City
4. Atlantis
5. Intro (inc Alan Jones)
6. Foot Tapper
7. Kon-Tiki
8. Memory
9. Chat to audience
10. The Day I Met Marie (audience in fits of laughter)
11. Shadoogie
12. Theme from The Deerhunter
13. Chat to audience
14. Let Me Be The One
15. Wonderful Land
16. Equinox Pt V
17. Chariots Of Fire
18. Rock And Roll Medley (Lucille / Rip It Up / Blue Suede Shoes /
19. Sleepwalk
20. The Boys
21. How Do I Love Thee?

The inclusion of those last two numbers (especially the last one, released on record in 1984) plus mention of Alan Jones on bass narrows down the chronology to 1984-1986 (or so).

Does anyone recognise this recording - or the likely location / date - from the above description, please?
